ACQUARIO CIVICO
Magnifico e fragile. Il Mediterraneo

Curated by Aldo Premoli

March 9 – April 16

The multimedia contemporary art exhibition “Magnificient and fragile. The Mediterranean” turns a conscious gaze to the “mare nostrum” and does so through the gaze of extraordinary visionaries: painters, reporters and underwater photographers, sculptors and fiber artists, all for one reason or another bewitched by this unique liquid mass world. The group exhibition show will be constructed as a collage of different tesserae which, however, come togheter in the mind of observer as a unicum. And it also does so by listening to the story of those who cross the Mediterranean every day to protect it and protect us as happens in the film made available by the Siracuse Coast Guard.

La memoria e l’emozione

Curated by Fondazione Roberto Franceschi Onlus

March 25 – April 16

Originally curated by Roberto Mutti in 2003 on the 30th anniversary of the death of Roberto Franceschi, a student at Bocconi University killed by the police on 23 January 1973, the photographic exhibition "La memoria e l’emozione" (Memory and Emotion) is shown again by Fondazione Roberto Franceschi Onlus on the 50th anniversary of Roberto’s killing. The exhibition intends to reconstruct the cultural, social and political climate of Milan in the 1970-1975 period through the photographs of important Italian photojournalists who masterfully interpreted those years: Carla Cerati and Uliano Lucas bear witness to the passions, hopes, struggles but also to the discussions, assemblies and other aspects related to the custom and daily life of those years, while Enrico Cattaneo documents the restlessness of the art world.

Showboat Andata e ritorno

Curated by Giovanni Agosti

March 29 – June 25

For several years you have not seen an exhibition of Giovanni Frangi in Milan: here he trained and here he works, mainly. Today’s occasion is a sui generis exhibition held at the Castello Sforzesco in two different and precisely characterized spaces, connected to each other through a sequence of colored banners made by the artist himself. The exhibition is called Showboat because it is the story of a crossing, with a round trip the name is here to remind the magical American river boats of the nineteenth century: real floating theaters, almost factories of illusions. The two sections of the exhibition are accompanied by two catalogues, the Andata contains the prints on display, the Ritorno contains the covers of all the catalogues documenting the artist’s intense exhibition activity.

The project is pomoted by the City of Milan Culture Department and hosted in Fabbrica del Vapore. Some of the themes Zerocalcare’s works exposed in Milan are social fragmentation in the aftermath of the pandemic; the increasing of fears at the time of a global crisis and conflict in the heart of Europe; the forced isolation and loneliness that inevitably generated disintegration and caused the loss of contact with reality; politics and resistance. In this exhibition you can see over 500 original plates, videos, sketches, illustrations and a site specific work.

Curated by Pier Paolo Pancotto

March 9 - April 15

This light art installation is part of the "Fabbrica di Luce" cycle, in which famous light artists try their hand at redesigning Fabbrica del Vapore's square using light. The same title, taken from a popular nursery rhyme for children, will be given to the dialoguing installation scheduled at the Secci Gallery, showing how light can enhance and modify public and private spaces. Both installations are also a time measure: the bright objects installed at Galleria Secci rotate clockwise while the ones installed in Fabbrica del Vapore rotate counterclockwise. Moreover, all the objects rotate at different speed, some once a minute, some once per hour, others once a day.

Curated by Sergey Kantsedal

March 16 - April 12

Concluding of the residency project of the Ukrainian women artists hosted in Fabbrica del Vapore after the outbreak of war, a large group exhibition is planned at the Cisterne space of the Fabbrica del Vapore. The exhibition will take place from March 16 to April 16, 2023, ideally closing the project during the days of Milano ArtWeek, a give-back to the international community that is gathering in the city these days.
The research is centered on the title theme of the project, "How you dare?" proposed by the artists in relation to the social, political and military crisis that is crossing Ukraine and affecting the whole world. The research of the artists-in-residence has moved through different expressive languages: from painting to digital art, from video to music, from sartorial practices to performance. Their work is coordinated by curator Sergey Kantsedal, of Ukrainian origin, who has been living in Italy since 2015.

FABBRICA DEL VAPORE – Sala Colonne
Pierced Eyes

Curated by Marco Bongiorni

April 4 - 15

The exhibition/workshop questions the function of the contemporary gaze and its ability to "feel" the world while observing it. Marco Bongiorni's project is inspired by the recent crying man series (2020-2022) and reflects on the topic of male crying in painting; in western visual culture is hard to find a crying man and tears on a male face are still a visual taboo, unlike the image of the crying woman. The title of the project refers to the diaphragmatic nature of the visual organ which performs the function of opening towards the visible world. To look is, in fact, a founding act for thought as well as for the complex emotional network underlying imagination and intuition.

“Lullaby” di Maurizio Cattelan in dialogo con “Il Quarto Stato”

From an Idea by Gianfranco Maraniello

The exhibition project that puts Maurizio Cattelan's work "Lullaby" and Giuseppe Pellizza da Volpedo's "The Fourth Estate" in dialogue in the heart of the elegant Sala da Ballo.
Tracing a symbolic trajectory that opens and closes the Short Century, the works seem to dialogue through the three arches that divide the space, making it scenic and establishing a connection with the museum itself. "Lullaby" was created in 1994 from the rubble of PAC - Padiglione d'Arte Contemporanea, as a memento to the Mafia massacre that took place in Via Palestro.
"The Fourth Estate", recently relocated to museum's halls, stands in front of Cattelan's installation. This creates a short-circuit between Pellizza da Volpedo's group of workers hopefully advancing toward the future and an episode that dramatically marked Italy in the 1990s. A "lullaby" that thus accompanies a painful memory, but which also becomes synonymous with and iconic of the possibility of redemption and reconstruction.

Futurliberty. Avanguardia e stile

Scientific curatorship by Ester Coen – Art Direction by Federico Forquet

April 5 - September 3

The exhibition proposed by Liberty London highlights how the avant-garde and especially Futurism and then Vorticism influenced all aspects of everyday life. Paintings, drawings, posters, clothing and textiles tell how certain artistic productions contributed to the creativity of different designers, such as Bernard Nevill, who in the 1960s gave an interpretation of early twentieth-century breakthrough art, up to Federico Forquet's Futurliberty line. The exhibition is set up in two locations: the Museo del Novecento hosts the focus on art and the role of the avant-gardes; at Palazzo Morando the relationship between art and fashion is investigated.

April 4 - June 11

The first solo show in Italy devoted to the poetic, visionary artistic enquiry of Yuri Ancarani (Ravenna, 1972), whose works are based on an original and careful blending of documentary cinema and video art. Using the same lucid, impartial gaze that has always characterised the artistic point of view, the exhibition endeavours to allow the most authentic aspects of the artist’s production to emerge, revealing their various nuances and linguistic codes through a broad selection of Ancarani’s past works and a new one conceived expressly for the PAC. For the first time, Ancarani’s films, shown at major festivals and in the world’s most prestigious contemporary art museums, can be viewed in a single location. The exhibition is presented in partnership with MAMbo – Museo d’Arte Moderna di Bologna.

Helmut Newton. Legacy

Curated by Matthias Harder and Denis Curti

March 24 - June 25

Helmut Newton is arguably the most published and discussed photographer of all time: even today, his work remains a continuous source of inspiration for generations of photographers. The exhibition was conceived to mark the 100th anniversary of the artist's birth, spanning the main genres he dealt with through approximately 250 photographs, magazines, documents and videos. Alongside iconic images, a corpus of unpublished shots – discovered thanks to intensive archive research – is presented for the first time in Italy, revealing lesser-known aspects of Newton's work. The exhibition, articulated in chronological chapters, traces all stages of the great photographer's life and career. From his beginnings to his last years of production, Newton defied categorisation, while continuing to provoke with his interpretation of femininity.

NEXT CREATURES

Curated by Raffaello Galiotto

Raffello Galiotto's projects are characterized by a tendency towards experimentation and the continuous search for new solutions, with a particular interest in the expressiveness of materials and technology. The works, made with precious marbles, are inspired by the fascinating forms of nature, the bone structures of vertebrates, the chromatic symmetries of the liveries and the marginal serration of the leaves. The indistinct fusion of the animal kingdom with the vegetable kingdom generates mysterious fossil remains of the future, seductive stranded exoskeletons of improbable marine creatures.

BASE MILANO
Claire Fontaine

Curated by Base Milano

April 11 – ongoing

Claire Fontaine, the collective artist founded by James Thornhill and Fulvia Carnevale in 2004, brings to Base Milano a large immersive installation for the spaces of the ground hall.
The works will take the form of LED phrases that question us, urge us, provoke us. These luminous statements, which activate questions rather than deliver answers, give materiality to words, making them interact with the outside world, thus changing our reading of the reality that surrounds them. And, with it, our interpretation of the world. Claire Fontaine's practice does not focus on individual genius and the excellence of singularity but seeks the activation of the forces and forms contained in art history and highlights their political content.
Claire Fontaine uses different media and refuses the obligation to adopt a recognisable vocabulary of forms in her work, rather she approaches it as an ongoing experimental research, an ongoing exploration. She uses video, sculpture, luminous, often neon text, painting, literary and theoretical writing.

The exhibition presents more than forty works – including sculptures, graphics, multiples, drawings, models and prototypes – dating back to that period, a selection of archival materials, and some works by American artists – colleagues and students from the American campuses – with whom Pomodoro became friends in those years, such as Harold Paris, Sue Bitney, William T.

The solo exhibition of Lito Kattou(Cyprus, 1990) is the first appointment of 2023 with the Project Rooms, the observatory project of the Fondazione Arnaldo Pomodoro dedicated to developments on the international art scene, entrusted this year to the researcher and curator Chiara Nuzzi (Naples, 1986), since 2018 editorial manager and curator of the Fondazione ICA Milano.The project developed by Nuzzi, entitled Corpo Celeste in homage to the homonymous collection of essays by the Italian author Anna Maria Ortese, is articulated through two personal exhibitions which will feature Lito Kattou (Cyprus, 1990), from April to June, and Paul Maheke (France, 1985), from September to December. The research reflects on the possibility of rethinking and reimagining reality and the body that inhabits it through the practices and poetics of the artists involved and reconnects to the theme of “negation” – derived from some of the issues addressed in the exhibition “La forma della negazione” underway in the spaces of Arnaldo Pomodoro's Studio.

During the two-month residency, each artist was invited by Ramdom and Fondazione Elpis to think about the concept of "Meridione" (South) and its geographical, historical and socio-anthropological implications. The exhibition that is taking place in the former industrial laundry, the site of Fondazione Elpis, aims to deepen this reflection and broaden its scope, bringing into play the dichotomous relationship between 'city-province' and the production and consumption models that these historically represent

An exhibition features a selection of thirteen eighteenth-century ceroplastic works from the re-nowned collection of the Florentine museum, focusing on the female wax models and the way wom-en’s body has been represented for scientific purposes. A new short movie, shot by David Cronenberg at La Specola, will be shown in dialogue with the exhibition. In this film the director uses digital edit-ing to introduce four works on view into an alternative narrative. His new short movie explores recur-rent elements and themes of his creative vision, particularly his fascination for the human body and its potential mutations and contaminations.

Danilo Sciorilli. Distanze comoventi

Curated by Davide Dall’Ombra and Alessandra Klimciuk

April 12 - May 14

The young contemporary artist Danilo Sciorilli finds in the desire to achieve and be able to represent immortality the core of his art. The solo exhibition "Distanze comoventi (Comoving and proper Distances)", organized by the Fondazione Stelline in collaboration with Casa Testori and R&P Contemporary Art, borrows its title from the cosmology science and it refers to the distances between objects regardless of the time variable, as if they do not move. A play on words in italian language that also immediately brings to mind the "moving distances" of a Farewell. An exhibition project that offers the opportunity to reflect and rub it in a universal theme, particularly dear to the artist: the End of life. The works on show offer the public the - probably illusory - possibility of escaping transience of life through three solutions of immortality - of the body, of the soul and of the image - through a cycle of poetic works that question the faith concept. Supporting the narrative will be scheduled a series of events with the artist and curators and a special mindfulness appointment.

Forty-five years after his first solo exhibition which took place in Milan in 1978, Fondazione Stelline pays tribute to Aldo Spoldi, one of the most original protagonists of Italian art. The monographic exhibition presents over twenty large works created from 1968 to 2022 which create a single installation, a single act, which winds along the entire space. Based on a circular vision of history, the artist creates a place of freedom where some of his most famous creations appear.

MEET Digital Culture Center | Fondazione Cariplo
The Art of Connection | Albert-László Barabási

February 8 - May 7

The Art of Connection by Albert-László Barabási is an exhibition whose focus is on the artist and scientist's ability to unite scientific intuition and visionary power in a creative synthesis: still images, graphic and artistic representations, and sculptures derived from the data collected over the last 30 years of BarabásiLab's activities. The exhibition culminates in the Immersive Room with a site-specific immersive installation. During Art Week, the exhibition is enriched by another work from BarabásiLab: Cosmic Web. Kim Albrecht, the lab's designer, worked with a team of network scientists and cosmologists to generate a series of images and videos that show the overwhelming complexity of this web, tracing the relationships between galaxies in almost microscopic detail. Albrecht's research used data from 24,000 galaxies to build multiple models of the cosmic network, offering complex models of how galaxies fit together. Three interactive visualisations are presented at MEET that help imagine the cosmic network, show the differences between the models and give an idea of the fundamental structure of the universe.

Everything
Immersive Installation - by NOHLAB
In collaboration with Filmmaster Events

April 12 - 16

Everything 2021, is a 12.30-minute immersive experience that portrays reality as it appears, questioning human existence and suggesting new possible interactions. Through the eyes of a narrator, who follows the unfolding of the narrative thread, we immerse ourselves in a fast-paced tripartite audio video sequence, in which science, philosophy and metaphysics converge. Through the observation of familiar elements that constitute the routine of our daily lives, the audience is prompted to question how the complexity of our everyday existence leaves many questions unanswered. There are many things that we cannot perceive or take into account with our limited human skills. But just accepting how much knowledge eludes us can lead to a state of constant openness towards the changing world, as well as a vision of freedom towards the technologies and machines we have created.

Dara Birnbaum

Curated by Barbara London

April 13 - September 25

This exhibition offers an understanding of the career and practice of Dara Birnbaum (b. 1946), an artist who consistently has challenged the precepts of art and mass media for more than fifty years. She started out in architecture, then turned to video, and went on to explore the cultural intersection of video art, television, and consumer technologies. An ongoing theme of her installations and videos has been the gendered biases reflected in the representation of women in popular culture.

PIRELLI HANGARBICOCCA
Ann Veronica Janssens. Grand Bal

Curated by Roberta Tenconi

April 6 - July 30

Since the late 1970s, Belgian artist Ann Veronica Janssens (b. Folkestone, UK, 1956; lives and works in Brussels) has constantly investigated the sensory perception of reality. Using elusive and ephemeral elements such as light, sound, and water, the artist creates works and situations that disorient the viewer, breaking down their conventional perceptive mechanisms—both physical and psychic—and questioning concepts such as intangibility, emptiness and materiality. The exhibition at Pirelli HangarBicocca will retrace the artist’s entire career, with sculptures, videos, as well as environmental and sound installations. It will bring together historical works and her most iconic pieces—such as those consisting of glitter or artificial mist—with new works and interventions that will dialogue with the architecture and with the introduction of natural light into the space.

PIRELLI HANGARBICOCCA
Gian Maria Tosatti. NOw/here

Curated by Vicente Todolí

February 23 - July 30

The solo exhibition of Gian Maria Tosatti (Rome, 1980; lives and works in Naples) offers viewers a chance to experience aspects of his practice that have never been introduced before. Although Tosatti deliberately developed the exhibition to answer the call for a retrospective project, he has conceived the show in a highly specific way, by creating new works which epitomize the feelings that have influenced his research over the past two decades. The two series of works are built around large-scale elements that embody a dialogue with the Zeitgeist (Spirit of the time), and the sentiment of the generation to which the artist belongs. The pieces are conceived as “mirrors,” open questions that directly confront the visitor. They reconnect with the very moment when reality reveals itself, as evoked by the exhibition title “NOw/here,” whose elements can be read individually, as “now” and “here,” or sequentially, as in “nowhere.”

TRIENNALE MILANO
Museo del Design Italiano

Curated by Marco Sammicheli

From April 15

The Museum of Italian Design celebrates the 100th anniversary of Triennale Milano with an itinerary that starts from the foundation of the institution in 1923 as the Biennial of Decorative Arts in Monza and arrives at the development of the technological research, material and social that have transformed the identity, aesthetics and main features of Italian design. The exhibition presents the icons of the Triennale's Permanent Collection, relating them to the history of the institution. The Museum emphasizes the role of comparison, hospitality, showcase and debate that Triennale has always played. Italian design is recounted through the reconstruction of a number of interiors whose logic has represented a fundamental evolutionary strand of the discipline through examples in the collection or the result of strategic agreements with organisations and institutions. The final portion of the Curva that houses the Museum of Italian Design will host the Design Platform: a space destined for temporary exhibitions with a focus on today's design.

FUTURDOME
Marco Pietracupa
The Vacuum Decay

Curated by Atto Belloli Ardessi

April 12 - June 10

The Vacuum Decay is a hypothetical astrophysical condition implying a self-destruction of the universe. FuturDome displays a series of images created by Pietracupa during the first lockdown in March 2020.
The barn of his house, forcibly converted into a photographic set, transforms into a sort of cosmogonic observatory where the decay of the void functions as the activator for a cycle of portraits of his family and close relatives with whom he was ineluctably living with. The faceless bodies, shot in front of a cinematic green screen, lie waiting for the ultimate event, decaying as a generative mass of the vacuum that will annihilate them.

ORDET
Shahryar Nashat. Deeper and Deeper

February 23 - April 13

For his first exhibition in Milan, Shahryar Nashat presents a new installation that incorporates living liquids in dialogue with new sculptures and pieces from his ongoing series of “meat objects.” Nashat looks at the way the body is a source of fascination, attraction and tension. Just as desire has the well proven habit of projecting bodily qualities onto objects and artifacts, seeing them as stand-ins, so the artist employs technologies, both digital and analog, to create work that extends and is infused by physical and biological properties and implications.
